Just heard on the news that there have been concerns that there may be terrorist threats/action taken against the Iran soccer team.Originally posted by Daniel
Iran - they'll just nuke the place if they lose
How's that for the opposite side of the coin?

The match between Australia and Japan has just finished. Although Japan was winning 1-0 during almost all the match, the aussies were very brave and they score 3 goals in the last ten minutes! It was quite surprising, and well, I just wish good luck to the aussie national team, cause they play good football today

They live in a hotel not far away from where I live...
@Thiago: Why d'you think so? They didn't even play so far.
And yeah Those three goals were great, I didn' expect that *gives thumbs up for Australia*
I didn't expect them either, that's why I were really surprised. The main reason that they scored that goals was that the Japanese players were too exhausted (they lost some opportunities to score more goals because of that) and well, Australia then with a lot of courage and luck (cause the Japanese goalkeeper was really bad at the first aussie goal), could draw the match. After that, they got really energetic and excited after scoring a goal that they just *destroyed* Japan by using their speed and taking advantage of their tireness and their lack of confidence (after being drawed only a few minutes before the match ended). So anyway, I saw a good team and I really think Australia can go into the next round (in second place, after Brazil of course ). Guus Hiddink really made a good job with this team.Originally posted by Neola

In the other match, Czech Republic defeated USA, 3-0. USA demonstrated once again that it still has to improve a lot if they really want to win any soccer cup. And Czech Republic, well, it has a good team, though they didn't play very well either, I mean, they didn't play as well as in the 2004 Euro Cup, but I think they hadn't show all their potential yet (except from Thomas Rosicky, who scored two awesome goals, specially the first one!)
So well, this night at 21.00 (local time, GMT+1) will be held the match between Italy and Ghana. I think Italy will win easily, a 2-0 would be a probable result.
Yeah, Thomas Rosicky's awesome...and Jan Koller, that colossus
And I think Italy will defeat Ghana 2:1
Oh wow you guys should see us here in holland, it looks like we and germany are enemies for life ore something oO holland is full of football stuff and wow, it drives me nuts, and all those hate commercials to germany, yeah, i dont like football.. >.>
W00t, my first right prediction!Originally posted by Lion Roar

there our socceroos he he I should whacth the replay
I don?t have a technical explanation for that, but in all other cups brazil winned, it got to enter it with dificulties (like being the last one in the eliminatory score) this time they entred very easily, so , i just have this predictement that the favouritism, will make a heavy in their shoulders then they will lose good oportunities to win a matchOriginally posted by Neola

Booyah, go Aussie! *ahem*
Most Australians, are going crazy in celebration and disbelief, but thats the thing. We're so shocked by this win, cause our record in the World Cup, isn't exactly good. I wonder how the ol' Aussie spirit shall fare when we face Brazil.
If we played Brazil like we played Japan I think we can hold our heads up high.
Seriously? We don't have any hate commecials against any other country this year...though 4 years ago I remember there was a very popular song over here..."We'll go to the World Cup without Holland" or something, meh, that really sucked...more than ever since I don't even want Germany to win.Originally posted by Amaryllis

And nice prediction LR
We were betting money at school today, yes real money

Togo-South Korea: 1:2
Brazil-Croatia: 4:0 (w00t, go Brazil!!!)
France-Swizerland: 1:1
Ukraina-Spain: Don' remember 2:1 or so...
Tunesia- Saudi Arabia: don't remember either, 2:0 I think
Germany-Poland: 3:0
YES!Originally posted by Neola

France-Swizerland: 1:1
now the brazilo match finished i can say a thing: this match 9for brasil) was MEDIOCRE!
If brazil continues playing that way is possible it don pass even to the frist part of world cup.
I agree that Brazil didn't play well but, you know, the other countries haven't played really well either, first match is always very tough. And appart from that, Brazil has a great quality players, even if the team isn't playing well, they may score a goal at any moment (like today Kaka did). So I still think Brazil will win, and I'm looking forward to seeing the next match, I'm sure they will play better.Originally posted by ThiagoPE

Yeah, this was not what I'd have expacted and I'm sure Brazil can do much better, hopefully very soon.
Btw, did you see that croatian fan running onto the field yesterday?
